Birds of a Feather and a Mixed Berry Gazpacho with Basil and Ice cream

Since the beginning of summer we have been busy entertaining family and friends. Some we have known forever and others we have met here since arriving at this magical place. We call them our "friends of a feather" (hence the picture). Being around so many people that are like minded is well....wonderful!

This recipe is from the July 2012 bon appetit magazine and sure to be a grand choice when highlighting the amazing berries that grow in the Pacific Northwest. The plan was to invite D and B over for dinner (the first couple we met here and befriended). Outside on the deck we started with sqush blossoms stuffed with goat cheese and chives, then breaded and fried, grilled halibut with tomato salsa, whole wheat couscous with parsley and salad from the garden.The grand finale was the mixed berry gazpacho. We topped this dish with a Umpqua Dairy vanilla bean ice cream which is very regional. Delish!

About Me

Mysavoryspoon was first started in 2010 as a way to journal recipes that I had collected from cookbooks, magazines, family and friends. Most everything was savory, using legumes and whole grains. Along the way I discovered a love for baking. Now a couple times a month you might see some type of sweet pie or treat. Also I have started to share some of the trails my husband and I hike along with my garden successes and failures. I hope the recipes and stories you find here will inspire you in your kitchen. Thanks for stopping by, Cheri.
